Critics Consensus

Like the best horror/comedies, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil mines its central crazy joke for some incredible scares, laughs, and -- believe it or not -- heart.

Sara Michelle Fetters

This movie is certifiably insane, that's a given, but it's also extremely witty, has far more intelligence than you might originally expect and has a grand time exploding clichés and playing with an audience's expectations.

Rated: 3.5/4

Here's something you don't see every day: a genial, politically correct splatter comedy.

Clever horror/comedy hybrid of the kind that Sam Raimi used to make and that so many have tried to produce in recent years but have fallen remarkably flat. There's nothing flat about this clever genre flick. For the right audience, it's pretty great.

Rated: 4.0/5.0

Chase Hutchinson

The Inlander (Spokane, WA)

A delightful buddy comedy that doesn’t skimp on blood when all the horror shenanigans take hold, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil remains an all-time cult movie worth pledging your soul to. Bursting with silly gags and gory kills, it remains a horror lover’s dream.

Horror Movie Talk

The dry wit and laugh out loud moments in this movie are a ton of fun and often the result of totally shocking and unexpected misunderstandings or accidents. The characters are completely wonderful and easy to fall in love with.

Rated: 7/10

The Wolfman Cometh

A simple, clever premise that fully pays off exactly how you'd hope it could, thanks to the charm and chemistry between the two leads.

Rated: 5/5

I laughed a lot more than I thought I would. This was ludacrous to nth degree and one hell of a fun time! This is one of those sure to be cult favorites for decades to come! At no point doest the movie take itself seriously and the cast delivers on every line!

To be honest this movie was recommended by friend it was really hilarious on first point it reminded me of scary movie but it also had its own sense of what it was actually doing story was kind of felt weird but it felt like it was betraying as the old victim and the crazy guy but you know I liked it Hope I see something come up next for this company or movie industry
